Hamas: We attempted to hit the nuclear reactor in Dimona
Three rockets were launched at Dimona in southern Israel on Wednesday afternoon. The Iron Dome intercepted one rocket before it could land, while two other rockets landed in open areas.

Can't wait for the some of the hamas apologists here to try and justify this. They try to do damage to a structure that could if it melted down could kills hundreds of thousands of Jews AND Palestinians. Is there really any doubt that Hamas's objective is to kill as many jews as possible, no matter the damage it may do to their own people.

Me nether!

1. No Apologies.

On the other hand, what would you call what Israel is doing? Shooting much more powerful rockets into the Gaza strip? Israel has the upper hand here, and always has had. The Palestinians are an occupied people.

5. Oh, bullshit.

If the Israelis had their way, there would be no Palestine or Palestinians. That's what is happening now.
The Palestinians have their back to the wall and are fighting for survival. Their children are dying as it is. What gives anyone the right to judge them so harshly?

29. Here's some balance

Israel actually did do the exact same thing to Iraq in 1981 but we're supposed to be so caught up in moral outrage at the nerve we don't think of that

31. Actually Israel destroyed the reactor BEFORE it was fueled to avoid that situation.

But hey, don't let the truth get in the way of your propaganda agenda.

38. expected reply but still no answer about Dimona being in the middle of a civilian population

why put it there and what would that be called if Palestinians did it?

Fozzledick (2,457 posts)
41. Actually it's in a desert and not a legitimate military target

but once again, don't let the truth get in the way of your propaganda agenda.

44. Israel has reportedly distributed potassium iodide to thousands of near by civilian residents

can't be all that far away now can it or if it is then the rest of outrage we're seeing here is hyperbole

not like fallout drifts in the wind or anything...

81. are you saying Israel doesn't have the foresight for defenses against an attack on Dimona

it's not fortified in anyway against this?

Kurska (4,149 posts)
82. Are you seriously saying that Israel taking precautions to prevent tragedy

Means it is okay for Hamas to lob rockets at an active nuclear reactor?

58. I don't think you quite get it , do you? If the crazie ****s in Hamas got there way and managed to get a nuclear explosion as they were aiming for , it makes **** all difference where the reactor is situated.
It's bye bye Israel , Palestine and neighbors.
And these maniacs are in the next Palestinian government .

no fair using logic and reality at the DU, ya JOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

74. is Dimona really so poorly forified that Palestinian rockets could blow it up entirely

and attempted mass murder? didn't you tell me that Dimona is located far from civilians in any event? your really going to have to make up your mind on that one

azurnoir (34,118 posts)
86. and Israels threats against Iran those are okay by you?

azurnoir (34,118 posts)
34. why does Israel choose to locate its reactor in a civilian population?

what would we call it if Palestinians did that?

Kurska (4,149 posts)
53. It is actually about as far from major population centers as you can get.

They put it in the middle of the desert. Sadly Israel isn't a very large place, so it is still within around 15 kilometers of a small nearby town.

azurnoir (34,118 posts)
57. Dimona's population is over 33,000 and why did Israel give it's residents potassium iodide?

if it's really so far from civilian centers then all the outrage here must be hyperbole, huh? sorry can't have it both ways

as to your Israel's a small place you should look at a map and realize Gaza is even smaller

30. why does Israel locate its nuclear reactor in a populated area surrounded by a civilian population?

why are Israel's military headquarters located in Tel Aviv one of Israel's most densely populated cities?

3. Is there any doubt that the Israeli leaders want to kill as many Palestinians as possible?

In the current skirmish between the two,

"At least 38 civilians, including 10 children, were among the 44 Palestinian dead in two days of fighting, and some 300 people have been wounded, hospital officials said."
http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/09/us-palestinians-israel-idUSKBN0FC0JP20140709?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews

At the same time there have been no fatalities or serious injuries in Israel.

This happens every.single.time.

The Palestinians do a tiny bit of damage and the Israelis come back at them with a deadly iron fist, killing scores to hundreds, many of them children. It just goes on and on. And no matter how barbaric the Israelis behave, our tax dollars continue to support it.

7. So is Israel's response to enact it's version of the "Final Solution" upon Palestinians?

That seems to be what the Israeli right wing wants.

PDJane (9,741 posts)
13. Could have, might have, wouldn't have....that's why Israel has defenses.

This is an excuse for the damage that Israel is raining on the West Bank at the moment.

Israel has always killed more Palestinians than the other way around. Always. They have injured more, killed more, and the media has always inflated the toll in Israel by over-reporting Israeli deaths and under-reporting Palestinian deaths.

Israel has nuclear weapons, and they are not part of the NNPT. They have never signed. Perhaps that's a place to start to finish this mess in the middle east.

47. Didn't Israel's operation begin early yesterday morning?

Isn't the operation supposed to stop the rockets? Just like all the prior operations against Gaza were supposed to do?

What's your theory on why blowing up Gaza every year and a half doesn't seem to stop rockets, as promised?

69. On the other hand, a strike on Iran's nuclear reactors is just fine

You're only a genocidal maniac if you threaten to strike nuclear reactors in certain countries, apparently.

Reminds me of Hillary's hard-on for a nuclear strike on Iran. No one bothered to think of the 25 000 Iranian Jews that would perish in such a strike. They only cared about killing Muslims.

DU always ready to hate on some JOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been of the mind that the IAF should lease some USAF B-52s for a while, load 'em up with iron bombs, and run Arc Lights over the West Bank and Gaza Strip for two weeks straight.  24 hours a day.

Then, if there's any survivors in the two regions, maybe make peace.

You are an idiot, and just blinded by your stupidity.  If that was the case the Israeli's would just steam roll the whole Gaza.  It would be just like police call, start at one end and go to the border.  What part of pinpoint  bombing don't you understand.

I've had plenty of interested buyers, buy the deal always falls through when they find out that rancid bong water, photocopies of hands and "healing white light" aren't acceptable tender for the transaction.

That would be my plan if I was in charge.

[Gina]

Since the dumbasses of the world think Israel is going after Palestine to annilihate them then they should just get it over with.  Why be accused of something if you ain't gonna get to actually do it?

Oh and

I'd vote to put you in charge, with a plan like that. (You may not thank me for it later, but it'd be the right thing at the time...  )

That's a good plan, an excellent plan, but it should not stop with the muzzies in Gaza and the West Bank.

I would give them fair warning of what I was going to do if they didn't stop being a******s.    If ISIS can take over a third of Iraq with a few thousand, taking the Palestinian areas should be a walk in the park.

They remind me of the over dramatic injuries in Soccer.

Dummy Please...

If Israel wanted to end the Palestinians, they would have already. Instead, they keep trying to live with them, which results in this seemingly endless skirmish.

That is the only way there will be peace, BSS. We did the same thing to the japs in WW2. They were prepared to fight to the death. We obliged. They surrendered.

100% of all electricity in Gaza is supplied by Israel.

Why waste manpower and treasure?  Just pull the plug.

I am amazed they haven't.

I think it's the same for water.  You think pulling the plug would get their attention?  Turn off the water taps.

If that happens, the UN is gonna hear it from Detroit AND Gaza.
